Welcome to our genealogical research center. Some of the work going on is the old-fashioned kind: libraries, town halls, cemeteries, court houses, and so on. Some is more up-to-date: microfilms and CDs. Some is thoroughly modern: DNA testing.

Take a look and see what you find. Let us know if you have any corrections or additions to offer.

Here are some links to on-line databases we are working on.

• Everybody Well, not quite everybody. The living have been hidden away from view in this database. This is organized as an ahnentafel, with lots of side branches included.
• Blanchard Genealogy (big file) This file contains the male-line descendants of two early Massachusetts settlers, both named Blanchard.
• Rice Genealogy This is the gateway to a six-generation descendancy of Edmund Rice of Sudbury and Marlborough, Massachusetts.

Here are the home pages of several ongoing Y-DNA surname studies.

• BLANCHARD
• CARPENTER
• CHANDLER
• RICE
• SWEET

... and one geographic-based mtDNA study.

• Sudbury, Mass.
